Known Issues
------------
- Pro Bass Fishing 2003 features large outdoor game environments that may cause
it to run slowly on lower-end machines. Try lowering the graphics setting on the
System>Options menu to speed things up. You'll have less eye candy, but better
gameplay.
- On some systems, using Alt-Tab to jump in and out of the game may have strange
effects on the game graphics. You can save and quit the game, and then re-start
or re-load it to get the graphics back to normal.

Tips
----
- The retrieve speed or pattern makes a big difference in how well a lure attrac
ts fish.
- Keep the line taut while retrieving the lure, and your rod tip down in anticip
ation of a strike. This will give you more leverage when setting the hook.
- With a hooked fish, slack line is just as dangerous as line stretched near the
breaking point. If he turns toward the boat, be ready to reel your fastest.
- Hard is hard. Fish will be much more scarce, and much choosier about what they
 bite. They also will give you much less margin of error in setting the hook or
keeping them on it. If that's not enough, you'll find the AI anglers do better,
too!

he web page of the manufacturer of your video or sound card and verify that you
